Page 10 Meditorial By Rev. Jim Paul There is an interesting story told about a minister who pulled into a gas station on a day that marked the beginning of a holiday weekend. A long string of cars lined up, causing quite a delay. When the attendant finally got to the preacher, he apologized, "I'm sorry. It's like this every holiday. People always wait until the last minute even though they've known about the trip for weeks". "I understand", replied the pastor. "*T have the same trouble in my business. The preacher's message comes through loud and clear. Many who at- tend church, and even those who don't, are fully aware that someday they'll be going on a journey not a mere trip in a car, but one that will take them into eternity. Excuses pile up without end as to why one neglects his or her relationship with God. Teenagers falsely bargain with God by saying to Him, "I'll have fun now while I'm young and when I'm old I'll give my life to You and prepare for death". However, this is 'dangerous bargaining because the date of our trip into eternity is unknown. Often, young married coupples and middle aged people are bound in a similar state of spiritual procrastination. Their united cry secretly goes up to God--"Just let me pay off my house and enjoy-life a little more, before I give my life to You and prepare for death."' What about you? Are you ready for that last great journey? Have you made sure heaven is your destination? If you have never received Christ as your personal Savior do it now. The bible clearly directs us to "seek the Lord while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is near". (Isaiah 55:6) ae. a Seno The Light Castor Valley Baptist Church Minister-- Rev.

Woolfrey officiated at the service held' in the Lafleur-Robert parlours which were filled for the occasion. Mr. Harrison is survived by his widow, the former Millie Fetterly, his sister, Mrs. Willard Carlyle and a number of nieces and nephews. "*Ortie" Harrison was born and spent most of his life in the Russell area. In his early youth, he went west to the harvest. For much of his adult life he was a farmer and also worked for many years at the old Russell brickyard. He was employed by Morewood Homes and other businesses in various lengths of time. "Ortie"? was a craftsman and handyman of high reputation. In his garage workshop he had a varied assortment of tools for every purpose. to the uninitiated eye, the overwhelming note seem- ed to be one of uncontrolled chaos; but "Ortie"? knew. were everything was, down to the smallest nut. His hand would dive into the rubble and come out with precisely the item he wanted. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to young or old and' was a familiar figure at the in- tersection of Mill street and Con- cession in downtown Russell. A few years ago, he and his wife Millie celebrated their fiftieth an- niversary in the «presence of friends and well-wishers who filled the United Church basement to overflowing. As Rev. Woolfrey said in his touching eulogy, "He will» be missed". HELP! HELP! RUSSELL ARENA LADIES AUXILIARY NEEDS NEW MEMBERS. CALL 445-2017. MARILYN SULLIVAN.
